Yet another Borsalino-

[BellyTank]

This one's a nice pale Grey, a little later in vintage than the others I have,
a shade narrower in the brim than the '40s ones. Same, nice, soft felt and
snappy brim that I've come to expect.
The wind trolley is a bit loose but nothing a little hot water won't fix.
(Sorry about the blurry photos-)

Great Lid

... love the color, kinda soft dove grey .. I could never keep that color clean! too many kidz & critters...
what is the brim width?
& just what is the provenance of this item?
... ebay, thift store, rummage sale, Uncle's attic?
vintage Borsos just don't grow on trees, eh?
oh, and how 'bout a photo of it in use?

Regards

Rick

Good God, man! I hope that the entire Eurozone market is so replete with vintage Borsas as Denmark/Scandinavia appears to be.

Nice hat, heres one I'll purchase soon from Hatguys in Oakland,CA. from my trip to the bay area last weekend (Thanks Andy!) its a Borsalino Classic open crown, only in brown. It was a fun, informal to try on many styles, next will come a grey fedora, prefer open crown.

I must keep my sources under my...er... they are diverse.

The brim is a shade under 2.5" at the front and a shade under 2.25" at the sides.
I like the proportions of this one- might put a fat, black ribbon on it.

There are a lot of Borsalinos in Europe of course- but It's difficult to find them-
especially of the 'right' vintage, style, colour and of course, size.
I won't pay eBorsalino prices though.
